I kept telling people here and on Reddit that Apple is using the whole idea of "Privacy First" on Apple devices as a marketing gimmick. The company has began introducing bloatware into their product and rivaling Windows bloatware.

Yet, people perception on Apple bloatware here seem to be, "that's fine".
Depends on what benchmarks/reports you trust I guess (and how much hardware you have for local models either in-person or in-cloud). https://aider.chat/docs/leaderboards/ has Deepseek v3 scoring higher than most closed LLMs on coding (but it is a huge local model). And https://livebench.ai has QwQ scoring quite high in the reasoning category (and that is relatively easy to run locally but it doesn't score super high in other categories).
Unless you are studying an a priori science, textbook examples are pedagogical simplifications. Yes, the cost of environmental pollution is paid neither by factories nor their customers, yet both suffer the consequences, and as such are not "uninvolved" with the third party, as the definition goes.
Now I wish there were a way to yank emacs after killing it.

You need to build houses.

Correct.

health, transport, education, housing, have to be directed by the government.

This is not at all clear. In the case of housing, government's major contribution has been to forbid people from building more homes, so perhaps we could start by not doing that.
The words "house" and "home" mean different things. "Houseless" is more correct than "homeless" – except that not all housing is houses, so you'd have to make it "housingless", and "unhoused" is far less clumsy. (I don't think this is one worth fighting: if you feel strongly about neologisms, best to pick your battles.)
What else is new? This was already well known among grad students in the late 90s. We even knew there was some kind of hierarchy, with one of the student acting as «political officer».
I didn't think the Cambridge Analytica scandal had anything at all to do with computer science. I thought it had to do with business and hence business ethics.
Because enabling evil on a large scale to pay for doing good on a small scale doesn't achieve net good.
Because "wait for an event" is a good abstraction for many event types. The epoll interface is a generic wait interface whereas the kqueue one is a hardcoded list of things you can wait for.

Think about async programming you have a single `await` keyword that can await lots of different things.
Usually, mentally ill folks (which can include drug addicts). I've known plenty of "fully functional" drug addicts that make life much harder for everyone, than some schizoaffective dude on the sidewalk.

Before the 1980s, when they started shutting down the "warehouse" mental institutions, homelessness was a far less pervasive issue.

> It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.

I'm going to have to add that my list of favorite aphorisms. And it's not just salaries that drive this dynamic. It is difficult to get someone to understand something when their entire identity is invested in not understanding it. This applies to religions, political ideologies, and even to a lot of self-styled rationalism.

All platforms like that have failed because fundamentally companies don't trust others with hiring, unless you can very quickly get rid of someone (body leasing).
I think words like these are also used now as a means of signaling...well.. something about your views or beliefs or group identity.

Reminds me of the politically-correct nonsense in the 90s with *-challenged, like a short person is now vertically-challenged, a bald person is folliclly-challenged or adding *-technician to something like dish-cleansing-technician.
The same is true of kqueue/kevent though... the driver just needs to decide which filters it wants to implement. There's no need to extend kqueue when adding some custom driver or fd type. One just needs to define some semantics for the existing filters.
Language constantly evolves, everywhere, sorry it offends you. It's not a conspiracy.
Good show!

Thanks for your Service!
> ...nobody really should be using either of them.

What's wrong with poll(), at least for smaller values of nfds? And what should one use instead when writing POSIX-compatible portable code, where epoll() and kqueue() don't exist?
"But in my January 2019 Communications column,^b I dismissed the ethical-crisis vibe. I wrote, "If society finds the surveillance business model offensive, then the remedy is public policy, in the form of laws and regulations, rather than an ethics outrage." I now think, however, I was wrong."

I used bash for ages, and never really saw what zsh offered in comparison: I would have had to customize it almost as much as bash, and it didn’t really give me anything new.

Fish was so much better than either out of the box, and I still have done virtually no configuration other than setting it up to use my common starship prompt, which is supported in bash as well.

I don’t understand personally the argument about not having bash syntax. If I want it, I just run `bash`.
I had a few people who wanted the better IDE, but they hated the keybinding hell they were going through. Having a true integration would have flipped them fully.

Sure, yet you're exemplifying the "judge others" stuff by calling what others do unethical, and judging without evidence that they only do it because of the money, and not because their moral world-view differs from yours.

I guess we're all guilty.

No, this is exactly "you must use USB-C law." Please don't reframe it as a strawman.

> Apple would include an extra/expanded connector like a number of other device producers.

They did mandate such thing IIRC, just not forced directly on device, which is a slightly better IMO, to mandate how something is sold rather than dictating how the device should be built.

Well, it’s an accurate statement, at least how it’s been historically done in the US.
It’s interesting how many folks in the comments have essentially this complaint, of not being able to paste bash from the internet. I just run `bash`, paste the thing, and then exit bash.
Whole heartedly agree.

At first I was confused by there being no images/media, but then I was delighted that got to choose which ones to load.

No auto playing videos, or obstructive ads.
I did not find it useful at all. It's just a set of links to various places that can be helpful in finding useful information.

Like LocalLLama subreddit is extremely helpful. You have to figure out what you want, what tools you want to use (by reading posts and asking questions), and then find some guides on setting up these tools. As you proceed you will run into issues and can easily find most of your answers in the same subreddit (or subreddits designated to the particular tools you're trying to set up) because hundreds of people had the same issues before.

Not to say that the article is useless, it's just semi-organized set of links.
Actually, this is the first time I've done that.

I pretty much enjoy the world I live in. That upsets some folks.
The meaning of words comes from usage. Originally "intelligence" was used to refer to a capability of humans and certain animals, but nowadays "AI" has become part of the common lexicon, and isn't going anywhere, so any dictionary definition needs to include that usage too (even if not everyone agrees that machines can be "intelligent").

Of course it's interesting to go beyond word usage and "I know it when I see it", and try to define what intelligence actually is - what, objectively, is this capability that people see and call intelligence? I think many people would struggle if asked this, but "ability to learn", and "ability to solve problems" are perhaps common themes that one might expect to come up, and is why many people are OK with the idea of AI, but would balk at describing the sun as intelligent.

Of course we can do better than these intuitive definitions, by considering the evolutionary origins of intelligence, and what it really is, but that's not relevant to a discussion of what the word means in everyday usage, and what types of thing people are willing to ascribe intelligence to.
You're right, but also lumping every rich Chinese into a "part of a mob" is kinda funny. We talk about how we've outsources a buttloads of manufacturing to China, how they're making a killing out of their industrial policies and etc. Obviously there will be millions of people in China who are rich through their businesses. Just like in the states.

Dirty money will always exist, and currently exists in every single country. But in the past 20 years, there have been a rise in the amount of rich Chinese. Just like rich Japanese of 80s through their RE investments and etc.

> the belief in the magical power of the free market always to serve the public good has no theoretical basis

This needs to be repeated more often.

Early on, there was this idea that free market capitalism was inherently amoral, and we had to do things like "vote with your wallet" to enforce some kind of morality on the system. This has been gradually replaced with a pseudo-religious idea that there's some inherent "virtue" to capitalism. You just need to have faith in the system, and everything will magically work itself out.

Well, hackers made furniture with hatchets apparently.
You are correct that storage is cheaper in S3, but S3 charges per request to GET, LIST, POST, COPY, etc objects in your bucket. Block storage can be cheaper when you are frequently modifying or querying your data.
Ham radio, Hi-fi (often home-built stereo equipment), model trains.
In 2010s, Intel pretty much sold the same Haswell design for more than half a decade and lipsticked the pig. It is not just low power that they missed. They had time to improve the performance/watt for server use, add core counts, do big-little, improve the iGPU, etc.

They just sat on it, their marketing dept made fancy boxes for high end CPUs and their HR department innovated DEI strategies.
I share most of your view. There's no physic problem in the US against more train usage. I'm not a politician but it seems there's so many more public incentives in favor of cars and planes that it's a more sensible choice for Americans to use them. Trains are not intrinsically worse in the US, they just aren't helped the same way roads, fuel and airports are.
As much as I hate cookie consent dialogs everywhere, the fact is that it is clearly working. Some companies are going as far as to force users to pay money in order to be able to opt out of data collection. If it wasn't so cumbersome to opt-out, I reckon the numbers for opt-out would be even higher. And if companies weren't so concerned about the small portion of users that opt-out, they wouldn't have invested in finding so many different dark patterns to make it hard.

It is definitely true that most users don't know what they're opting out of, they just understand that they have basically nothing to gain anyway, so why opt-in?

But actually, that's totally fine and working as intended. To be fair to the end user, Apple has done something extremely complicated here, and it's going to be extremely hard for anyone except for an expert to understand it. A privacy-conscious user could make the best call by just opting out of any of these features. An everyday user might simply choose to not opt-in because they don't really care about the feature in the first place: I suspect that's the real reason why many people opt-out in the first place, you don't need to understand privacy risks to know you don't give a shit about the feature anyway.
Not using those “bad practices” of third party analytics can be an existential threat to small businesses, unfortunately.
I think the "X" looks like a pair of scissors. No good explanation for ZUndo though.
On a side note, we literally had train autism before trains were invented: https://www.ancientmedicine.org/home/2018/4/6/heraclides-of-...

It's impossible to verify consent remotely. OnlyFans should be required to shut down their website until they can verify consent IN PERSON for all their creators. And if doing so is economically infeasible then they shouldn't be externalizing costs like systematic rape. </CaptainObvious>

You should absolutely be getting faster responses with a 4090. But that points to another advantage of cloud services—you don't have to debug your own driver issues.
Ah yes, nothing screams of freedom more than brewing your moonshine hormones and diying an extremely serious medical procedure without a doctor and outside of the medical system.

Actually, if my mindset were leading, we wouldn't have cookie consent banners because we would've just banned non-essential tracking altogether.

That’s cool! I enjoyed the book and many of his talks and writing elsewhere. You never know what’s going to stick.
I don't know why people are assuming malice in my comments. It's great work and I'm just curious about the cost breakdown.

I also figured that other HN visitors would have similar questions and I could save them a few minutes of digging around.

And yes, I did just donate.
I think Moshe is right but chose a really poor analogy in Big Tobacco, I want to say because working in tech is not at all like a farmer working laboriously in a physical field which is a lot less ideological and more driven by being in a poor 3rd world country, etc.
Nonsense. A Spotify Premium or 1080p Netflix subscription costs one hour of work at UK minimum wage. If you're willing to settle for ads you can get Spotify for free, or Netflix for the cost of a single pint of beer. That's incredibly cheap entertainment, if you're not too picky.

I pay for a Spotify Premium subscription. It has 99% of the music I want to listen to, and it works on all my devices - including Linux. I only use it a dozen hours a month or so, but it's too convenient not to get it.

I tried a Netflix subscription early on for a few months - before the streaming service explosion. It had a horrible UX, didn't work on half my devices, and only had a small fraction of the content I wanted to watch. In other words, it was literally impossible to legally get a Spotify-like streaming experience.

The solution? I spent hundreds on a movie/tv download server instead. A single torrent tracker provides everything I could possibly want, with an extremely easy user experience, and the content is guaranteed to work on all my devices. It would be cheaper for me to subscribe to a streaming service, but a decent one does not exist.

In the years since then the streaming landscape has only gotten worse, with content now distributed among a dozen different streaming services. Why would anyone willingly subject themselves to that?

That was my thought. They might even need to periodically re-verify in person. And ideally they should verify in person with a witness, like getting a driver's license or passport.
True, and I'm sure many, even most, folks working for Big Tech want to make the world a better place.

We likely disagree about the merits of the DEA's War To Destroy the Lives of American Meth Users. That's a topic for another post perhaps, but the point is people have wildly different moral frameworks.

I'm sure there are people working for Big Tobacco who think they're making the world better by helping people enjoy themselves. Heck, some people who work in online gambling, or sports betting, or run state lotteries, or make ice cream, might even believe that!
A bit like Amazon with vast numbers of oddly named Chinese resellers.
Not needed for privacy, but not an obstruction to it either.

They have thoroughly documented the architecture, so if you have a concern about that, then state it.

At the moment you are saying that because it’s efficient and scalable it must be at the cost of privacy - but have stated no reason for that to be true.
Shortly after privatisation, the Conservatives who did it lost power; it was going "so well" that the Conservatives' own choice of advertising posters in 2001 included "You paid the tax so where are the trains?"*, an irony I remember well because I was into writing letters to the newspaper editor at the time and my letter about it was published.

The main joke (there have been many smaller ones) for the last ~ decade has been the Brighton-London route, and two decades ago my trains home from Aberystwyth were getting cancelled every time a few stops before the Birmingham, with people saying that was to avoid getting counted as late.

The woke city council in my town spends the first 15 mins of every meeting on land acknowledgements, followed by 30 mins on how to divvy out needles to the "unhoused" ... followed by divesting from Israeli companies in their pensions (a good cause, but it just adds to the irony).
Ah, so you mean in the sense of a speculatory investment.

I guess that happens when there are no longer fools willing to play. That could happen tomorrow, or in 10 years.

It probably doesn't go to zero (it still has value other than speculation) but getting price stability would actually make it more successful (as a currency) than it is now.

Ukraine also had a significant amount of non-computerized legacy infra from the Soviet era which reduced the scope of IT/OT attacks.
